They don't want you to have water in case you have to have surgery that way if you vomit your stomach is empty and lessen your chances of aspirating (it going into your lungs and possibly causing pneumonia)

Ice chips dont sip down the water

@ivorynoir thank u

And it also said you will get ice chips during ... sorry not my area like I said I'm a csection girl aha! Congrats to you!

I just went and read that many women said they could have water to drink before induction and they said that every dr is different. But they all survived so I hope that helps your anxiety 😸

@ivorynoir imma take a sip than

Oh that's not my area then aha! I'm a csection girl... but I am sure the same rules apply... I mean... you'll pee it out in hour anyways ... just don't "drink" the water

@ivorynoir no im getting induced

For csection? Yes you have a sip or two of water but don't guzzle a couple of glass fulls.
